My Project

Our high school seniors are so excited for their Prom. As things return to normal, we are hoping to give them a wonderful memorable experience.

The backdrop and balloon arch materials are going to be used so that our students can take fun and fancy images to commemorate their special night.

The led balloons will be used to set the stage and centerpieces at the tables.

Our students have worked so hard during their past 4 years in high school. We would love to have the opportunity for these materials to help defray the prom experience costs for our kids.

Grades 9-12
